[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
I'm historically heartbroken
D
Drownin' in my own emotions
C
One minute away from the breakin' down, down, down
G Em
I'm always leavin' empty-handed
D
No one wants a heart that's damaged
C
Only know what love that lets me down, down, down
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
No more starin' contest with the walls
Am Cm
I'm givin' in to my intrusive thoughts
[Chorus]
G
What if I never find anybody to love
C
Or I finally get the chance and I f**k it all up?
Em D C D
'Cause I can't get hurt if I'm the first one to leave, woah
G
What if I get to heaven and it's not even real
C
And I die before tellin' you how I really feel?
Em D C D
'Cause it feels like hell and I just can't help but think
G
That maybe love's not for me
[Verse 2]
G Em
If you don't look too closely
D
You can't even tell I'm lonely
C
Even though it keeps me up at night, night, night
G Em
I try to keep myself distracted
D
But I got all these awful habits
C
Of listenin' to voices in my mind, mind, mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
No starin' contest with the walls
Am Cm
I'm givin' in to my intrusive thoughts, oh
[Chorus]
G
What if I never find anybody to love
C
Or I finally get the chance and I f**k it all up?
Em D C D
'Cause I can't get hurt if I'm the first one to leave, woah
G
What if I get to heaven and it's not even real
C
And I die before tellin' you how I really feel?
Em D C D
'Cause it feels like hell and I just can't help but think
G
That maybe love's not for me
[Post-Chorus]
C Em C
Oh-oh, maybe love's not for me, oh-oh-oh
G C
Maybe love's not for me...
Em D
Maybe love's not for me...
C D
For me, for me, for me
G
Maybe love's not for me
